My adventures in mommyhood and tips on making it out alive!
As many of you know, I started working part time back in January and in July I quit my job to stay home with my precious little one. Now transitioning from 2 incomes to 1 has been tricky but I wanted to share with you a few of the things that we did to trim costs last month:
Isn't it funny that we have to clean appliances that clean? Isn't that it's job!? š I always think about that whenever I am doing tasks such as these!
In the midst of all this cleaning and organizing, I noticed that our shower curtain was getting kind of dingy. I've already cleaned it a handful of times over the years, so I decided that it was time to get a new one.
As most of you know, when you move from a rental, it's like pulling teeth trying to get some (if any!) of that deposit back, so I have been going through the house trying to get things squeaky clean, and one of my favorite (easy) household recipes is my homemade dishwasher cleaner. You can buy tablets and such on Amazon but I love to save money (who doesn't) and I also love to use natural ingredients/products whenever possible.
I don't know how it happens every shopping trip, but somehow I always end up with a bunch of tired, uneaten bananas. Am I the only one? I love bananas, Baby L loves bananas, but somehow there are always more than we can eat. Solution? Avocado Banana Puree!!!!
This week I was trying to hurry up and make something quick while Baby L was finishing up some leftover vegetable medley with daddy. I had some strawberries, a banana, and yogurt on hand. What does that mean? You guessed it! Strawberry Banana Yogurt (yes I came up with that title all by myself)!

Homemade baby food can last for up to 3 months in the freezer but it's best to try and use within a month. Let thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.
This week's post is about hand soap. I don't know about the rest of you but my little household of three, plus Bailey:) goes through a TON of hand soap! Over the years we have tried both kinds; foaming and liquid but I much prefer foaming. I feel like you have to use more liquid to get your hands clean and it takes longer to rinse off. Busy mommies don't have time to rinse off their hands for an extra 30 seconds! We've got stuff to do!
One of the things that I am really excited about right now is making my own baby food. It saves a ton of money and I know exactly what is going into my baby's tummy. I am a full time working mommy, so I don't have a lot of time, and making your own baby food REALLY doesn't take long at all.

Pumpkin is very bland by itself, get creative and add some apple, banana or cinnamon to make this more tasty for your little one!
